"Foot Tapper" is an instrumental by the British guitar group The Shadows.[1] It went to number one in the UK Singles Chart,[1] and was The Shadows' last UK number-one hit (not including those where they performed as Cliff Richard's backing group).[2]
For many years the tune was the signature tune and closing tune for the BBC Radio 2 programme Sounds of the 60s, before being dropped after Brian Matthew left the show in 2017.
